SCiP technology demonstrated its ability to treat the root cause of CP through spinal cord neuromodulation in investigational studies.

The company plans to initiate patient recruitment for the trial in the first half of next year and launch SCiP therapy in the US in 2026.

SpineX product director Kara Allanach said: “Not only is it a nod to our commercial viability, it provides us with the funding to complete our trial and move quickly to market.”

SCiP has previously received the breakthrough device designation based on pilot clinical results, which enabled the company to accelerate its pathway for regulatory clearance.
